Manicure Mondays – Blood Dripped Halloween Nails

I have no idea how the blood dripped Prabal Gurung nails made it down a spring/summer runway {more suited for fall, right?}, but they are perfect for Halloween. The bloody manicure was so easy to recreate – I started with a clear base coat, followed by two coats of Julep Jennifer {love my namesake polish}, a beautiful sheer pink nail polish, and I topped that with a dry fast top coat.

Next, I dipped an angled nail art brush into China Glaze Loft-y Ambitions, a dark shimmery blood red nail polish, and set a blob of polish a bit under my tips and then pulled towards the tip of my nails, adding a few other random drops here and there. I didn’t finish this layer with a top coat to maintain the textured blood dripping effect.

Not only are the Prabal Gurung nails easy to do, but you can also ding them up like I did and it actually added to the effect lol. They’re foolproof.

Do you have your Halloween nails planned yet? What do you think of these Prabal Gurung nails? Something you would try?
